Barrow-Downers Map

I remember years ago there used to be a map showing where all the BDers were from. Now I'd like to try to do it again using this group map I created. I'm just curious to see how many BDers there are around the world. Be sure to place your mark!

There is still the Where is everyone from? thread, which has Amanaduial the Archer's list of people's real life locations. Hookbill the Goomba has also posted his own Barrowdowners map on that thread - although for some reason the places appear to have vanished...

Hope this helps - whichever map could be used, I suppose

Same place they always have been ... Europe is just across the channel from England..... And the rest of the world is in all directions... (again from England ) . When I click I get the world map....more seriously

This frappr map thing has seriously improved! I no longer have to 'live' in a pub at the back of the City Hall or in the middle of the road by the Uni! Even if it was, being in Yorkshire, a shoebox in't middle of said road.

Deary me, on the Barrow Wight's map, I am completely covered by Amanaduial the Archer until one zooms in to the actual road names. Pff!

Observing the maps, I noticed mostly everyone is from the UK, US, and Canada. There are very few other Europeans, yet I know there are more on the BD. And what about the Aussies? I find it rather strange that not a single person from Australia has labeled themself on any of the maps....
